I need a USB adapter for my dictaphone transcription foot pedal for the ipad mini

I have recently purchased, for work purposes, an olympus as-2400 professional transcription kit for an oral history project.  It comes with a USB foot pedal and i was hoping to be able to use this on my ipad mini.  Does anyone have any ideas about USB adapters with which this item would work? Many thanks!

You can buy a usb camera adapter at the Apple Store but my bet is that it won't work And you will be wasting your money. There are a number of good affordable tablets on the market that come with usb hubs.  I'm not knocking Apple, I have an air for personal use, but they have their own niche and are not very flexible when it comes to adding on options other then those they sell or have license to.  I suggest you call the software vender and confirm before going any further with this.  Personally when I'm at work I leave the Ipad at home and bring my asus transformer. It has usb and HDMI ports for much less money, around $200 And runs Windows 8. If your are open minded there is room in the world for both and both shine in different areas.

    Probably not normally, Apple has removed some of the hidden features of the USB dongle via a software update for iPad. One of those features was playing host to hard drives, keyboards, etc.

  • Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW photo files from my camera, through the IPad and back to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras does not use an SD card.  How can I do this?

    Is it possible to have two USB drives for the IPad?  I want to bring RAW files from my camera through the IPad and out to an external hard drive.  One of my cameras has an SD card but the other one doesn't have a card that would fit in any of the camera devices I've seen on line.  Realted to this, I bought the IPad camera accessory.  Can I put the SD card in the device and also hook the external hard drive to the USB port of the accessory and download from the camera to the hard drive?  Can I put Lightroom or the Nikon photo editing software on the IPad?  Right now I carry a PC laptop and external hard drives with me on wildernes trips.  Internet and WiFi are not available.  Because I shoot so many photos and they're in RAW I need to download from the camera to the external drive because I run out of memory on the PC (and it has much more memory than the IPad).  I have Nikon NX software and lightroom on my PC.  I'd love to be able to reduce the weight I carry by using the IPad to edit my photos each night while on trips.  Is this possible and how would I do it?  I'd appreciate any guidance.

    No, the camera connection kit only supports the copying of photos and videos to the Photos app, it doesn't support copying content off the iPad. For your second camera instead of the SD reader part of the kit, does the iPad to camera cable not work with it for direct transfer to the iPad ?
    For Lightroom and Nikon software again no - you can only install apps that are available in the iTunes app store on your computer and the App Store app on the iPad, 'normal' PC and Mac (OS X) software are not compatible with the iPad (iOS). There are some apps that perform fairly basic editing functions that are available in the store, but nothing as sophisticated as, for example, Lightroom.

    I have an iPad 2 that I want to use with video mirroring to give lectures with. I bought a VGA Adapter for the iPad, iPhone, and iPod as I want to be able to connect with any TV, monitor or projector for lectures, not just an HD device.. After plugging in my iPad to the VGA adapter and then to the video device, it appears that there is no connection with the iPad. Anybody have any thoughts?

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

  • Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV

    What should I get a Apple digital AV adapter for the ipad 2 or a Apple TV?
    Wanna use it for showing photo and movies:)
    thx

    Assuming that you already have the iPad 2, you're looking at a $99 purchase versus as $39 purchase. Why to spend over twice as much on the AppleTV?
    Another thing it would depend on is how often you plan to use the connection. If it's going to be an everyday constant thing where you're likely to find yourself wanting the surf but the iPad is connected to the TV (so you have to disconnect then re-connect each time), then maybe that will be enough of a hassle to get the AppleTV. If you only want to use it every now and again (like after renting a video from iTunes, or to share content when people come over), then you may just get the Digital AV adapter and be fine.
    Actually, I just thought of a third option. You want the connection to be more convenient, but would still rather not have the AppleTV sitting there unused most of the time, you could add the iPad 2 dock for $29 which would be $69 dollars and you're still under the $99 of the AppleTV.
    Oh, and one MORE thing to think about If you've got a computer connected to your network (that's connected to your media library) you may find that having the AppleTV is an easy way to get all that content to your TV, so it would be an additional benefit to the whole situation above and beyond just the iPad.
    For me, I purchased the AppleTV, I have one stationary computer (a Mini) that serves all my music and videos that are in my iTunes library, plus an iPad which I can use as a remote control to control the AppleTV, or I can use AirPlay to push video/audio to the TV from any connected device. I like being able to freely switch between modes at any time without disconnecting and reconnecting cables and this setup allows that (also allows making my TV's sound system a broadcast station for all my music!)

  • Will the HDMI adapter for the Ipad serve as an output AND an input?

    I do a lot of video productions and could use an extra moniter on site. The camera I use has an HDMI out, and I noticed there is an HDMI adapter for the Ipad. Would the Ipad recieve/display the signal being sent from my camera? If not, is there another way?

    The Apple Digital AV Adapter only output to TV. It cannot be tethered to a camera.

  • Are the usb cables for the iPad 2 and iPhone 4s interchangeable?

    Can I use my usb cable provided by my ipad 2 to connect my iPhone 4s to my iMac or vice versa. I noticed the usb cable for the iPad 2 is slightly thicker. Doesn't it mean it's better or faster in terms of transmission of data? Thank you.

    Identical cables.

  • Is the charging cord for the iPad 4 the same as the charging cord for the iPad mini?

    Is the charger for the iPad 4 the same as the charger for the iPad mini?

    You have 2 questions here.
    The actual cable is the same Lightning USB cable for all 3 current generation products. That is iPad Mini, iPad4 and iPhone 5. All the same.
    The charger, however, that comes with the Mini is the 5W charger. This is the same charger that comes with the iPhone 5. However the charger for the iPad 4 is the larger 12W charger.
    You can use the larger 12W charger to charge every other device, but the 5W charger will not correctly charge the iPad 4 as it requires more power than it can provide.

    It all depends upon your uses and preferences. The iPod had a bigger screen and is physically bigger and has an option cellular radio.

  • Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?

    Do all the apps on the iPad work for the iPad mini?

    Hi
    Have you progressed your evidence based knowledge on this issue?
    I recently posted elsewhere:
    "I am very interested in this issue as I want an ipad for 7 months travel in Southern Africa and the particular app I want is Tracks4 Africa map app On App store it says "This app is designed for both iphone and ipad" and later on "Requires iOS4.3 or later." and "optimised for iphone 5"
    In emails with the developers their junior tech assistant says it is not compatible with an ipad mini with wi-fi.  My attempts to differentiate whether its compatible with an ipad mini running both wi-fi and mobile has fallen on deaf ears.
    Does the ipad mini offer 4.3?
    Could you understand why an app wouldn't be compatible with a wi-fi only app but would be ok on a wi-fi and mobile unit?"
    Thanks

  • Any best practices for the iPad mini????

    I am in the beginning stages of designing my mag for the iPad.... now the iPad mini seems to be all the hype and the latest news states that the mini may out sell the larger one.
    So... I know that the dimensions are 1x1 on bumping down to the smaller screen... but what about font sizes? what about the experience? Anyone already ahead of the game?
    I have my own answers to these questions, but any one out there have some best practice advice or links to some articles they find informative...

    I think 18-pt body text is fine for the iPad 2 but too small for the iPad mini. Obviously, it depends on your design and which font you're using, but it seems like a good idea to bump up the font size a couple points to account for the smaller screen.
    For the same reason, be careful with small buttons and small tap areas.
    I've also noticed that for whatever reason, MSOs and scrollable frames in PNG/JPG articles look great on the iPad 2 but look slightly more pixelated on the iPad Mini. It might just be my imagination.
    Make sure that you test your design on the Mini.
